CoCoRo: The self-aware swarm of underwater robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
The CoCoRo system will consist of several subsystems: A 'floating base station', which feeds global information (e.g., GPS) into the system, a self-aware 'ground swarm' that performs the focal task and a 'relay swarm' that bridges the communication between the these two agents. Both, the ground swarm and the relay swarm consist of AUVs able to perform 3D underwater swimming, with many on-board sensors to interact with the environment. While the ground swarms exploits self-organization and mainly local-neighbour interactions, the relay swarm exhibits vertical directed communication.

Profiling Underwater Swarm Robotic Shoaling Performance Using Simulation
Underwater exploration is important for mapping out the oceans, environmental monitoring, and search and rescue, yet water represents one of the most challenging of operational environments. The CoCoRo project proposes to address these challenges using cognitive swarm intelligent systems. We present here CoCoRoSim, an underwater swarm robotics simulation used in designing underwater swarm robot...
متن کاملA topology control algorithm for autonomous underwater robots in three-dimensional space using PSO
Recently, data collection from seabed by means of underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN) has attracted considerable attention. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly used as UWSNs in underwater missions. Events and environmental parameters in underwater regions have a stochastic nature. The target area must be covered by sensors to observe and report events. A ‘topology cont...

Underwater systems are modern and challenging area of modern robotics. Underwater exploration is also crucial for investigating bio-marine species, monitoring pollution, and developing disaster warning system. The most significant part of the underwater exploration activities are sensing and measuring. In a dynamic environment, it is not sufficient to scan an area or volume with a single sensor...

For analysis and mapping as well as long-term studies of water bodies, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are considered to be a trendsetting opportunity with high potential. Underwater robots combine many benefits differing them from conventional methods like manual explorations with divers and boats or static underwater sensor nets. It is possible to investigate hard-to-reach areas coupled...
متن کاملDivision of labor in a swarm of autonomous underwater robots by improved partitioning social inhibition
In this paper, a distributed algorithm for adaptive task allocation and adaptable partitioning of a swarm into different work-groups is proposed and used in a swarm of underwater robots. The algorithm is based on local interactions of agents and is inspired by honeybee age-polyethism. It is adaptive to changes in the swarm size (workforce) and relative demands (workload) for different tasks and...
